[PC] The Labyrinth of Time (1993)

How:
Read about it after playing Inherit the Earth, got on GOG during a winter sale.

Pros:
- Nice old school blocky graphics with 8-bit colors
- Auto-map

Cons:
- Annoying music
- It is possible to get stuck forever without knowing
- You can not even look at things -- the "look" command only zooms in
- Difficult to understand what can be interacted with
- Very easy to get lost
- Obscure plot and puzzles

For some reason, ケチヤ is written on the teleporter.

After the ending, the game promises a sequel that never came.

[PC] Inherit The Earth (1994)

How:
Found while browsing GOG.

Pros:
- Some of the best pixel art seen in a classic adventure
- Charming atmosphere all throughout the game
- Great voice acting

Cons:
- Useless mazes everywhere, places are very hard to find even if you know exactly what you need
- Annoying pixel hunting
- Lots of useless locations and characters
- Very abrupt ending

This very much reminds of Monkey Island's cannibal village.

Read about it on old videogame magazines. Got on GOG during sales.

- Horrible (in some cases, completely broken) Italian translation
- Very slow movement without the possibility to skip
- Some truly obscure puzzles, the cosmic date one is possibly the toughest I have ever encountered
- Way too long
- The inventory quickly packs up with useless items

The Omnibrain guard looks like a Norm from Normality!
